GIS Training (for Beginners and Users)

GIS Training (for Beginners and Users) Unstructured geodata, inefficient manual analyses, and lack of visualization options: Many companies and professionals struggle to fully harness the potential of spatial data. Without the right tools, valuable information remains hidden, workflows are cumbersome and time-consuming. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide the solution. GIS technologies enable efficient processing, analysis, and visualization of geodata—delivering valuable, data-driven insights. However, without the necessary knowledge, this potential remains untapped. Expand your GIS knowledge and improve your workflows in handling spatial data through our flexible training offerings!

Our offer

Our GIS training courses for beginners and users can be used across all sectors – even outside the energy industry. They have a modular structure and can be expanded to include new content as required. Possible content:

  • GIS Systems: Introduction to commonly used applications such as QGIS, ArcGIS, and OpenJump.
  • Coordinate Reference Systems: Introduction and essential coordinate reference systems and their application.
  • Geodata Formats: Overview of important raster and vector formats like Shapefiles, GeoJSON, and GeoPackage.
  • Database Integration with PostGIS: Using GIS databases and connecting to relational databases for efficient data management and querying.
  • Georeferencing: Methods for georeferencing raster data, maps, and plans for accurate use in GIS projects.
  • Geocoding: Converting addresses into geographic coordinates.
  • Geo-processing Tools: Important tools for geodata editing and analysis.
  • Automated Map Creation: Automation options for creating static and interactive maps.
  • OpenStreetMap (OSM): Importing and using OSM data in GIS projects.

Each topic is reinforced through practical exercises directly in the GIS software after a theoretical introduction.

We offer our training both online via video conferencing and in person.

Benefit from our many years of experience in geodata analysis and the application of GIS for optimized decision-making. We provide you with the necessary expertise to use geoinformation efficiently.
